Journey

I didn't wake up one day as a CTO. It started with hacking Game Boy ROMs when I was 12 and kept going from there — forums, WordPress, freelancing, enterprise work, and eventually running the tech side of a product company.

2014–2016

Game Boy hacking & early RPG prototypes

ROM hacking and RPG Maker XP. This is where I learned to debug, use tools, and figure things out on my own.

Built and customized community forums. Picked up HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP along the way.

2016–2020

WordPress websites

Personal sites and experiments. This is when I started actually shipping things online.
